Question

Anomalous behaviour of oxygen, compared to other VIA group elements is due to:

• A. its high electronegativity
• B. its small atomic size
• C. non availability of d-orbitals
• D. all

Answer 1

The correct option is D all

Oxygen is the first element of VI A group and shows Anaomalous behaviour than other group elements because
1:High Electronegativity
2:small atomic size
3:Non-avalability of d-orbits results in different compounds than their other group elements.
